TRENTON, Mo. — Allen Community College’s men made several key plays down the stretch and were able to corral a hard-fought 72-68 win Saturday over North Central Missouri.
The win marked the first career victory for Red Devil coach Andy Shaw.
“This was a special game for me,” Shaw said. “The guys really fought hard. It was a back-and-forth game.”
Allen’s Cameron Blue drove through the lane for a bucket in the game’s final minute to give the Red Devils a one-point lead.
“Bryce Schippers hit a key 3-pointer and free throws for us,” Shaw said.
Ce’Zanne Burnes also played well down the stretch, Shaw said.
Statistics were unavailable, “although I’d be surprised if Cameron didn’t get another double-double for us,” Shaw said. “He’s played very well.”
The Red Devils return to action at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday on the road at Butler County Community College.
